GOGEBIC COUNTY - The fire risk remains high for Gogebic and Ontonagon County and much of the U.P. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, in a press release yesterday, warning that warmer than normal temperatures and fall leaves and dry grass has resulted in the increased risk of wildfires. Something as simple as a spark from equipment or an ember from a campfire can be enough to create a Wildfire. Open burning is currently being permitted in Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties if proper precautions are taken.
